This is my reply to a questionaire recently sent to me by Lizz

I spent a bit of time in answering it so I challenge you to complete as much of it as you want.Ok its a bit girlie and silly but isn'tpart of why you are reading this blog Go on. Those of you who don't blog or want to make new friends over the intenet could pass it on.

Smart Chick Non-Gay Man


I love blogging.I haven't been dressed as a girl for ages and today I had this burning desire. I can't take the risk of wearing a skirt at home during the day because I get unexpected callers who can see me sat at my window hunched over my PC.So I have to do with slacks, tights, undies and some jewelry and usually a t shirt. Not ideal but what is a secret tgirl to do? ( During the day at lest I mean)
I'm so used to wearing heels now that I want higher heels and more strappy shoes.

Still, the most important thing is that I can feel like a girl and think like a girl and enjoy girlie things. This is so much nicer when you have blogging friends out there. I haven't actually got a Tgirl friend that I meet up with but I have made contact with lots of lovely Tgirls and Tboys over the internet. If it weren't for them I'd be the only trannie in the UK , let alone the village.

That's one thing we Tgirls have in common: we love to talk. About people , emotions ,clothes , shopping and that sort of thing .That is definitely a feminine trait. Blokes talk about cameras, cars ,things that move or that have electronic or mechanical parts.Not about feelings or people.

But if you listen carefully, blokes will talk about people who are in team games, rock bands or in tougie-kill-em-spit-on them type films. Have you ever heard blokes saying "Ooh that was a beautiful shot, his body movement was sublime" sort of thingie?
That's OK because they can't be accused of being gay as long as it is in a sporting contex. Oh I just wished they would loosen up...

Dam!! someone arriving.Here comes the coalman, off comes my pearl bracelet, off comes my heels and on come my slippers. I feel like supergirl in reverse. Must remember not to smile at him, he might think I'm gay or he might think I think he is gay. Good job I decided not to put on the lip gloss.
Phew!! He's gone now. What do you say to a coalman as casual blokey conversation ?
I didn't say that did I ? Yep. I did. " Wow! You've a strong back!" What a lame thing to say.Now he definitely thinks I'm gay.

Anyway, where was I ? Something to do with kryptonite ? Oh yeah , Lady- Non Gay Man, spinning around furiously to turn from a casual but smart chick to non- accessorised low-heeled bloke.Perhaps I should give myself a name for that. Smartchick-to-Non-Gay Man?

What a relief to get my pearl bracelet and my heels on. That's so much better sweetie. And I meant that in a girlie-but- Non-Gay Man sort of way, if you know what I mean.

I'm a broad Band Tgirl.


Yeah !! I just got broadband !! What a lucky TGirl I am !
It's like skating without holding on to the rails!
It's like catching a bus without having to wait at the bus stop.
I'm a fast, broad Band TGirl.

I've just seen Maddona's latest video without anybody's faces being disguised for fear of identification, if you know what I mean.

Anyone out there who can tell me what are the best features of a broad TGirl?
